STEAM GENERATOR
IMPORTANT SUPPLEMENTARY USER INFORMATION
Read all instructions before using the Steam Generator Iron and follow all instructions and safeguards carefully.
IMPORTANT NOTES ON THE USE OF A STEAM GENERATOR:
DO NOT OPEN THE SAFETY/FILLER CAP (1) BEFORE ALL THE REMAINING STEAM IS RELEASED (EMPTIED) FROM THE WATER TANK/STEAM GENERATOR (5) AND THE GENERATOR HAS COOLED. TO RELEASE THE STEAM TURN THE STEAM ON/OFF ROCKER SWITCH (3) TO THE “OFF” POSITION. PUSH THESTEAM BUTTON (C) UNTIL NO MORE STEAM COMES OUT OF THE IRON, THEN OPEN SLOWLY THE SAFETY/FILLER CAP (1).
1. A WORD ON WATER
For best results we recommend using 100% demineralized/distilled water.
The use of demineralized/distilled water will prolong the life of your generator and reduce the frequency of required generator cleaning, as well as the possibility of staining due to accumulated impurities.
DO NOT USE WATER PROCESSED THROUGH A HOME WATER SOFTENING SYSTEM OR BOTTLED MINERAL WATER.
If you choose to use regular tap water, make sure that the chloride (CL) level of your local water supply does not exceed 8mg/liter. In many areas, the chloride level exceeds 8mg/liter. Use of tap water with high chloride levels will adversely affect the life expectancy of your steam generator. Tap water can be mixed with demineralized/distilled water to lower the chloride level. For best results make sure to use the right proportions to bring the chloride level to 8mg/liter or less.
2. DO NOT OVERFILL THE STEAM GENERATOR
When empty, the water tank/steam generator (5) can be filled with 1 liter/33.8 US oz. of demineralized/distilled water. Do NOT overfill. Overfilling the tank can cause water drops coming out of the steam holes. See instructions on page 6.
3. DO NOT CLOSE THE SAFETY/FILLING CAP (1) TOO TIGHTLY
To close, turn the Safety/Filler Cap (1) clockwise until the point where you feel friction - do not close too tightly. The Safety/Filler Cap (1) includes a gasket which can be flattened and damaged if the cap is closed too tightly. If the gasket is damaged, steam may escape while the generator is used, even when the Safety/Filler Cap (1) is closed. If your Safety/Filler Cap
(1)is damaged and steam is leaking, you may call Customer Service at
